In the nick of time

I arrived on the flight from Singapore into London Heathrow Terminal 4 this morning at 6 am, took the return tube-train voyage across town and was at my UK home by 9 am. Apparently I made it just “in the nick of time” so to speak, as Terminal 4 was shut down completely along with two of the tube stations through which I traveled. All in the name of the latest series of jumpy reactions to the recent round of terror plots in and around London. Eek. I am so glad to be home and so glad that home for me only involves occasional trips across central London. Things have been getting quite sticky there since the 2005 tube bombings.
